If Michel is writing his story in English I think many of us would be glad
to read it - as long as it has not turned into a book!

Hallo, to the group of all EUROPA enthusiasts on this forum .
I'm happy to announce that my EUROPA No. 242 - Classic has successfully
reached the sky few days ago, on 08. Oct., at 12:02 a'clock local time, at
the airport of Luebeck in North GERMANY- after 17 years building on it. My
instructor and test pilot, C. Peter Vajen, was very happy about the
workmanship, the performance and flight characteristics.
I have prepared a detailed report of this first flight and the whole story
about my time consuming building process and the many modifications I did.
But I don't know whether somebody is interested on this? So let me know
whether I should put the whole story on this forum, or somebody wants it
separately by E-Mail directly from me?? My E-Mail is as follows:

Hello Europa Builders,
I've been off this list for a while, but here I am again. I've got the mono wheel
motor glider with about 550 hours on it now. I believe mine was the first customer
long wing to fly.
Now I am starting the infamous Mod 78. Has anyone successfully done this mod themselves
yet? I have just started by pulling the wings and organizing the hangar
in anticipation of the big job. The first thing I have noticed is the front
pin and socket on the fuselage has significantly more play in it than the original
socket. Was this socket replacement due to a structural considerations or
just the make the rigging easier? It seems that socket location sets the angle
if incidence and I would think there should be virtually no play there. The
pin has a shoulder on it and I was thinking that the shoulder was what does the
trick. It doesn't seem to, though.
On the other hand, I did see a couple small parts wrapped in the package, so possibly
there is some part I am not considering. I have not seen any drawings or
pictures of the new socket.
I hope this mod goes well. After getting all the angles and rigging set, its hard
to tear that all apart again - especially after flying it for over 10 years
now.
Thanks,
Dave Anderson
